I am a self taught intuitive artist from Atlanta, Georgia. I have worn many hats in the artistic world, including those of a teacher, actor, furniture artist, and abstract artist. Through all of my artistic careers, one truth remains: Art is a journey that takes courage, vulnerability, and an open heart. I’ve also learned that art is a powerful tool for creating a different kind of reality.
My art is equal parts imperfect and beautiful and a mirror of our shared life experiences. My approach always starts with a decision to be open and surrender to the moment. A mix of intentional and intuitive paint pours, gestural strokes, or marks create a dance of color and texture that are both spontaneous and deliberate. From there I allow the process to guide me, free from judgements or limitations. As I paint, some elements get covered over while others are revealed again, and the finished painting contains a rich, layered history.
Art has become an important part of my life to nourish, heal and connect with my intuition and what I need spiritually to share with others. I hope for the viewer to draw their own conclusion about my art. The emotions that they feel and what they see is their own experience.
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” -Marc Chagall
